We rented the house for our group of 2 50-somethings and 4 20-somethings. The layout of bedrooms was perfect for us, with plenty of space in the living room for games and TV watching. We liked that it was a bit away from the bustle of Gatlinburg and that we could get where we wanted (Dollywood, the National Park, a couple of outings nearby--Hartford was a good spot) without having to go into Gatlinburg, but still get to a good grocery store (Food City) and into town for ourn1 venture in. We mostly LOVED the wonderful view from the deck and sat out there each morning and evening. Bring bug spray! As others have noted some furnishings and fixtures were a bit dated and worn, but it worked fine for our group.

Easy booking and check in.

We love staying in this home. It’s off the beaten path with quite surroundings. This time was a little disappointing due to the hot being out, but stuff happens! It was still a great stay!

Beds were comfortable, although I got woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of something clawing in the ceiling above me. Since we were in the woods I figured it was a Squirrel or raccoon. The dishwasher already had dishes in it when we arrived, and although they were clean it didn't think we should have to put them up. Back sliding glass door was kinda to open. Front door code would not let us in once, had to reenter the code like 5 times before it finally opened.

This is a beautiful place but needs some updates. Counter has cracks, chips of paint missing, Toilets needed cleaning. Just cosmetics things. The biggest and prettiest bedroom is on the top floor. Wish it had been on the bottom. The pool table needs to be in garage with the ping pong table can't really use the pool table not enough room WE tried. Love the deck and wish there had been more chairs. But we had a great time good place if you are not a picky person.

We went as a family as we do every year. The house is great. Perfect for all of us. Grandkids enjoyed pool table and ping-pong table! House was very comfortable and has a homey feel. Definitely would rent it again! Thanks for helping us have a wonderful vacation.

My family and I enjoyed this property. It was about 30 minutes from most attractions, but the area was beautiful. The house could us a maintenance follow through and some furniture updates. There were 10 of us but seating for only 6 and several outdoor and one indoor seat was chair was broken. A Couple of the handles in the bathrooms were striped and we had to set them so the kids wouldn’t get burned from hot water when turning water on. Several floor tiles missing grout and rocking.These are all things that routine maintenance would find.

Wonderful location, easy to get to, and the cabin was clean and well-kept. There were some minor maintenance issues (light bulbs out, rickety chairs, etc...) that didn't really bother us, but I could see bothering some. I've come to expect most of those kinds of issues when dealing with rental cabins; it seems to be a fairly common problem. The property was more generous than most with consumables (toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher detergent, etc...). All in all we enjoyed our stay and would return to the cabin again.

Overall the home was nice. A little outdated and too far away from all the entertainment. We didn’t purchase the travel insurance because we were definitely going. We checked in on day 1 of our vacation and had just come back from grocery shopping and getting all settled in when my sister called to let me know our daddy had been found dead at his home! We stayed the one night due to the weather being too bad for us to drive the 7 hours to my daddy’s home. I emailed and asked if they could find it in their hearts to refund SOME of our money but, was refused.Obviously we are very disappointed.

We love staying at this home because we love to stay away from The hustle and bustle. The view is beautiful and tranquil! The house is older but has good bones.

will definitely recommend as well as stay again

Good location well equipped. Quiet area

Renewal of family ties and ver restful. We will come back.

If your looking for a get away cabin? This is the one. Only issue we had was that during the reservation process we were given the wrong key pad code. Although the issue got handled In farily timely manner.

We stayed with our fur babies had a wonderful time. Nice secluded relaxing. They had it all decorated for Christmas felt just like being at home.

Things were good

We had a great weekend. The location was great, about 15-20 minutes from downtown. The house was clean and provided us with plenty of stuff to do if we just wanted to stay in.

Wonderful place to stay with all amenities needed. We even saw momma bear and 3 cubs! Great time.

The place was filthy. The air was musty most of the lights didn't work up stairs toilet had a mind if its own. I was looking forward to the sauna didn't work. Lots if bugs. Very outdated. They really need to update the whole place for what we paid to stay there it was not worth it at all. I can't recommend it. Cell service was a nightmare as well.

This is a great place for friends, couples, families. It's got it all. Love the ping pong in the garage! Bring your own pool sticks, though. They need new ones. If you love to cook, this is the place for you. So much room in the kitchen, we had 6 people in there cooking and never ran into each other! We had visitors too...A mama bear and her three cubs were on the DECK! The view is breathtaking and it is well secluded up a long drive. We will definitely stay here again!

We had a lovely visit, there was a ton of room for 6 of us plus a dog! Hot tub was great, and the outdoor/patio area is beautiful. The only thing was the toilets were not really flushing/upstairs toilet was leaking the whole time, so we just used a hand towel on the floor. Another toilet didn't have water in it so we had to fill it. Other than that we had a great stay!

Door don’t lock all the time you have to lift up on it besides that everything else was perfect

Was really looking forward to a fantastic Family vacation. Our search for this property included community pool , hot tub and big kitchen with out door grill for cooking . Hot tub didn’t work , outside grill was rusted , community pool was filthy. We couldn’t even swim in it . Kids were so disappointed. We could over look cleanliness and out dated but the things most important was a real sad disappointment.

The best cabin we ever rented, my family enjoyed it.

We now it it was fall time of the year when we where there But if the decks had a roof on them this would be a perfect cabin.I had to clean the decks off and the chairs and tables in the morning covered with wet leaves so when we came home later they would be dry so we can use the decks and chairs and table also with all the wet leaves needed 4 wheel drive to make it up the driveway they needed to blow off the leaves off the driveway

We had a great time at Shooting Star. My whole family fit comfortably. Great area, Great views!!

You need to change the listing to show the swimming pool as community pools. This house did not have a swimming pool as it was listed which was a big disappointment for all of the family members.

We enjoyed our stay at Shooting Star. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and this house was big enough to accommodate all of us without being cramped. All of the bedrooms were roomy, with 2 master bedrooms (1 upstairs & 1 down) it was perfect for our 2 families. The rental was pretty much spotless & provided enough soap, toilet paper and trash bags to get us through a few days and had plenty of towels for everyone, which is a nice change from some of the other rentals we have had. The reason for my 4 stars is the pillows are pretty flat (an easy fix) and there are several outdoor areas to hang out, but no covered patio or deck areas - of course it rained the entire week we were there. But that can be easily fixed by the rental company, just put a market style umbrella in the outdoor table. This is a great house that feels very secluded while you are there, but is close enough to all of the fun in Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge.

This property itself is nice and easy to access. The check in /check out was super easy. There is plenty of room inside however, the place smelled old and closed up. Housekeeping could have done a better job of cleaning the place..there was someone else's long blond hair left in the shower..The bedding in the all rooms are in dire need of an update..the comfortor in the downstairs bedroom actually had someone's blood on it. The Jacuzzi was clean and ready to go. The view was pretty decent. We had dinner at a local restaurant called The Woodshed..the food and the service was awesome..found it on yelp.. We will be back next year for our annual couples getaway but probably won't be seeking out this property.

It was very private and scenic. Nice amenities b7t I did not find the pool and some things were out of date on the interior of the cabin but overall it was a nice getaway spot.

The property was very nice. 2 very large bathrooms and great bedrooms. Living room furniture could have been a little more comfy. Kitchen was very nice! Very much enjoyed our stay.
